Thanks mami

I said the price is ok because with all these features and a 12 mp cam I first thought it would be around 35 atleast but its just good comparative price

[Bulletproof_Heart]

[rajan1311]

The price will be Rs25,000+ for sure...the 22k you have said is direct conversion i think...

[Rising Sun]

No, the price of direct conversion will be around 18k hence i said 22 k

my wife has just taken back the latest version of the samsung touch phone which she found very difficult to use as did i , she opted back to her old phone and is now happy .

[Pri_dm]

well I am using a touch ph n yes i guess agree wit u upto some extent ... if i try to type with querty it becomes hard as my fingers end up hitting smthing else... so i prefer sure type rather than querty

[Rising Sun]

Yes even I agree with that.
I prefer keypad to touchscreen
